Water-Resistant Efficient Stretchable Perovskite-Embedded Fiber Membranes for Light-Emitting Diodes

Abstract

Cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with excellent intrinsic properties have been employed universally in optoelectronic applications but undergo hydrolysis even when exposed to atmospheric moisture. In the present study, composite CsPbX₃ (X = Cl, Br, and I) perovskite NCs were encapsulated with stretchable (poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene); SBS) fibers by electrospinning to prepare water-resistant hybrid membranes as multicolor optical active layers. Brightly luminescent and color-tunable hydrophobic fiber membranes (FMs) with perovskite NCs were maintained for longer than 1 h in water. A unique remote FMs packaging approach was used in high-brightness perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) for the first time.
